Or can you "daisy" chain one DiSeqC switch to another (ie, cascading) so that you can get more than 4?
(yes, I know most people probably dont need more than 2 or 4 LNBs hooked up a to single receiver)..hhehe... |
Oh, I don't know how high the number of ports can get. I know the receivers can put out numbers greater than 4, although I've never seen greater than "B" on the mini tone burst things. I'd guess that you can find switches with more than 4, but I haven't really looked around.
When my Ultra used to go beserk when the memory overload, I used to find the DISEQC set on numbers like "87", which would take a long time to get back to "2" with the left arrow on the remote. I doubt that there are any switches with 87 ports though.
I doubt that daisy chaining would work, however it could if you'd use different type switches, like 22kHZ and 0/12V types.
